I was overwhelmed with the fact that I wasn't drinking. I was clinging on to the idea that on day, I'd be able to drink again, because I still was clueless to the concept of what a life without alcohol could possibly be.
Imagine deciding to give up alcohol and finding a new lease on life through something as simple as walking. That's exactly what Niamh O'Sheehan did, and her story is both inspiring and relatable. In this episode of 'Sobriety Unplugged', hosts Sharon Hartley and Ben Anderson sit down with Niamh to explore her unique path to sobriety.
Niamh shares how she initially struggled, not making it past the second day without alcohol after being tempted by a free bottle of wine at a restaurant. But she didn't give up. She committed to a month without alcohol and added daily walks to her routine. This combination worked wonders for her mental health, helping her to stop negative self-talk and build confidence.
Niamh's journey didn't stop at 28 days; she went on to achieve 90 days and eventually a full year without alcohol. Along the way, she started her own business, Walk Your Way Well, which encourages others to find mental clarity and physical wellness through walking. The episode also touches on the challenges of parenting while maintaining sobriety and navigating a culture that often revolves around drinking.
Sharon and Ben bring their usual warmth and humor to the conversation, making it an engaging listen for anyone on their own alcohol-free journey or supporting someone who is. Tune in to hear Niamh's tips for newbies, her thoughts on resisting alcohol, and the unexpected joys of connecting with nature through walking.
